Two Pairs of socks from a sock tube. Part 2: True afterthought heel



This is a tutorial that shows you how to create true afterthought heels. This follows on from part 1, where I show you how I split a tube into 2 pairs of socks.

Length of the leg of the sock will vary according to your foot length.
Position of heel = length of foot - 2 inches

Decrease instructions:
Round 1: K1, SSK, K 24, K2Tog, K1, Place marker, K1, SSK, K 24, K2Tog, K1
Round 2: Knit
Round 3: K1, SSK, K to 3 stitches before marker, K2Tog, K1, Slip marker, K1, SSK, K to 3 stitches before marker, K2Tog, K1
Repeat last two rows until you have 24 stitches in total
Use kitchener stitch to bind off.
